Installation instructions for DEC OSF V4.0

Using DEC's cxx compiler

+ +

+ We have also made preliminary tests with DEC's cxx compiler, + version 6.0, on a OSF1 V4.0 system. This compiler seems to be + rather conformant and discovered a number of places where we + involuntarily seem to have used gcc's sloppyness. The largest + drawback was that version 6.0 of the compiler did not yet know + about the standard C++ headers cmath, + cstdlib, etc, which are included instead of + math.h, stdlib.h, etc. Otherwise there + did not seem unsurmountable obstacles to the use of that + compiler. +

+ +

+ Unfortunately, we were not able to fully test the library on that + system, so there are certainly still a great number of places that + need minor fixes. Also, at present the ./configure + script does not automatically recognize DEC's compiler. If someone + would want to provide us with a test account for a couple of days, + we would be happy to fix these things. +
